All Components
Mass Reduction
Up to 83%
Replacing aluminum structural panels with densified SUPERWOOD can reduce component mass by up to 6x, directly cutting launch costs.
Radiation Shielding
1.4× better/kg
Cellulose's hydrogen-rich structure absorbs cosmic radiation more effectively than aluminum on a per-kilogram basis.
Biodegradable Re-entry
Zero debris
SUPERWOOD burns cleanly during atmospheric re-entry, eliminating long-lived orbital debris from decommissioned satellites.
